Maros

Maros is a town in the South Sulawesi province of Indonesia close to the provincial capital of Makassar.

[2] In 2012, regional cement producer PT Semen Bosowa Maros began construction in Maros of a new clinker plant estimated to cost over $300 million.

The clinker plant was expected to help the cement company increase production in the region in response to the growing demand for cement to support construction activities.

Nearby to Maros, in the area of the Maros Regency to the north of Makassar, are Pettakere cave and other prehistoric caves that contain significant rock art.

Research suggests that the rock art is of considerable archaeological significance.
